1. MoPix Movie Opening Today

Black Swan from Fox Searchlight Pictures

(cc dvs) (rated R)

##cc dvs dcp##

Nina ( Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company

whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with

dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother a (Barbara

Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director

Leroy ( Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth

MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season,

Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer,

Lily (Mila Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer

who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black

Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role

perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two

young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to

get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to

destroy her.

3. Tune into ABC's " Extreme Makeover: Home Edition " Sunday Evening

We encourage all those interested in inclusive technology for people who are

blind or have low vision to tune into " Extreme Makeover: Home Edition " this

Sunday evening, December 5 (8-9pm EST). This week's project features a

couple from Cleveland that lost their sight, and remain generous committed

to helping others in their community. While we can't provide any specific

information on what will be seen and heard (it would spoil the surprise!),

the episode promises to create much greater awareness of the services and

products now available for people who have limited or no sight.

4. New DVDs with DVS

Two more movies have debuted on DVD and Blu-ray disc with DVS:

Eat Pray Love starring (drama, rated PG-13 from Sony Pictures)

from Walt Disney Studios)

The full list of DVDs with DVS, as well as a " click thru " option to order

the films from amazon.com (such easy holiday shopping!), can always be found

on this page of our site:

5. Update – Captions and Description for Digital Cinema, Captions for 3D

Films

The Media Access Group worked with film industry standards groups for over

the last several years to ensure captioning (open and closed) and

description are available to theaters and their patrons as the theaters

transition to digital projection of films. Several theaters that are

projecting digital film are also displaying Rear Window Captions, and more

are literally coming online each week. Digital cinema servers from Doremi,

Dolby, GDC, Qube and Sony are all compatible with Rear Window. And Rear

Window Captioning also works with 3D films.

Currently Focus Features, Summit Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Universal

Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Films, Walt Disney Studios and Warner Bros.

Pictures all provide closed captioned digital cinema packages.

When a studio offers a closed captioned digital cinema package for the films

it releases, we will indicate such on the www.mopix.org site, and add this

line to the listing in our weekly update:

When a studio provides both closed captioning and audio description in a

digital cinema package, we will indicate such on the MoPix site and in our

weekly update with:
